For you people who want to get kids in the future... if you had a baby girl, which name do you think might fit to her? And what do you think of the name Melina?  |

It sounds a little like semelina and a little like melanoma... neither of which I'd care to name my child after  But that's just me.

Sounds like medication.

| That's the name of the brunette chick on Total Recall. I don't really have much respect for people who name their kids after movie characters. Anakin is one of the worst things you can do to a child. |

*cough* ...Apart from what Nicholas Cage did to his child. Kal-El, anybody?
Melina...tbh, i'm not fond. It's like somebody got confused writing Melanie. And it makes me think of Molina, as in Alfred Molina. Not the most feminine of names. |

Josef Fritzl might disagree.

I hate the name Melina. There is a medical word 'melena' which means bloody poop. I always think of that when I hear a name like Melina.

Yeah, I heard a kid at a store recently being called Anakin. *gag* |

Oh I had a thread on stupid names a while ago hehehehe! Melina is an ok name, I went to school with a Malina and she was very nice.
I met a 5 year old Anakin too! Kal-El is pretty harsh, I agree on that. I think Geri Halliwell's Bluebell Madonna is pretty sick...actually there's a website about stupid celebrity baby names, one dude called his kid Pilot Inspektor. There's also a great site called That Baby Has A Bad Bad Name, it had me laughing. |

So? I was thinking of naming my little girl Celexa (Celexa Larsie something else and then the surname), before I found out it was a boy. Like, my little antidepressant.
I was also considering for girls: Charity Goody Grace (Charity), Something with 3 syllables Tola Natache (Tola), Corky Aniela Latrice (Ana), and others too. Me and Jack both liked Phaedra Charity Racine.

I agree - it sounds like a medical term. When I was a kid, the singers Tony Orlando and Dawn had a song called 'Candida,' which (at the time) I thought was a beautiful name for a girl. I wanted to name my daughter that very thing when I one day had one - until years later when I realized that 'Candida' was the medical term for Oral Thrush (Candida Albicans) or a vaginal yeast infection (Candidiasis). Now, whenever I hear that old Tony Orlando song, I wonder why he's singing about a girl with a yeast infection...

Additional note - made up names often sound funny later in life, when something else gets that name. For example, I actually knew an African American girl in high school named LaVitra Cooper. Now there's a medicine out there called 'Levitra' which is prescribed for erectile dysfunction. I imagine that people give her a 'hard time' about her name these days.
